What altitude should one start burning at an angle to achieve orbit most efficiently?
I usually start around 14,000 (1400? I forget exactly what the scale is. Around the point the sky turns black) but that seems to bleed off way too much fuel for a moonshot
Usually I start turning at 10km. Then I slowly tip to 45 degrees by 18km and almost level by 25.
Another thing to consider is your speed. Try to accelerate slowly enough that you're at 200m/s by 10km, but beyond that go ahead and open up the throttle. It takes considerably more energy to accelerate as the faster you're traveling. This is especially important below 10km.
In short, watch everything until you're above 10km. That's like a critical altitude.
b-but what about going fast
how get to space if not fast

according to EVE most super-advanced spacecraft travel slower than the average modern-day airliner, so i have to concur with the rest of the thread Dongs
Dongs Foxtrot-1-X successfully achieved Munar orbit and subsequently deployed its lander probe with fully half its fuel remaining, a glorious day for the Union of Kerbal Socialist Republics
this success was only slightly marred by a critical overestimation of the effectiveness of ion engines for final-stage landers, resulting in a slight but acute excess of speed during Foxtrot-1's touchdown procedure, in consequence whereof Foxtrot-1's primary components are now rather more dispersed than anticipated in the mission plan

Dongs Foxtrot-2 has made two important discoveries
1. the Foxtrot series is capable of reaching the Mun even when its primary boost engine suffers catastrophic overheat and explodes inside Kerbin's atmosphere
2. the altitude indicator for the Munar surface thinks "ground level" is about 5,000 meters below the ground Foxtrot-2 attempted to land on

You could use this application, but then you'll have to face the embarrassing realization of how much of your HDD is made up of pornography.
I'm disappointed to learn that Crisis In Infinite Cunts is not a real thing
It's a corrupted ISO for something that was hosted on my university's public server at the time. Was it a game? Was it a movie? Was it a religion? No one will ever know.
Welp, time to make another attempt at getting this 127 ton, all-purpose base, into orbit with stock parts.
At least I know how heavy the thing is, so I can attempt to math out the rocketry that will go underneath.
Uuuugh.
I was just rolling into the last town of the Scipii, held by a few scattered legions and the town watch. The turn before the siege, one of my settlements rebels and goes to... the Scipii.
Scipiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I have to do some Twitterscumming for a key because fuck paying $50 for a beta key for a game I'm not sure about

even if it were not, I'm pretty sure it would have killed everyone on board

more weight means slower ascent
time to bring in the stacks

post 'em -- without a gigantic mask on, though
I'll throw mine on in a bit
unless I already have a screenshot

Where does my extra beta key show up? In the game?
I think I already know who I wanna give it to.
Before I kicked it because of steam sale stuff, the mods alone were ~6gig
So yeah, it'll most likely be almost 1:1
what I'm getting out of this is you're really into Girls Gone Wild and orgies
when the name of the file is WORLD'S BIGGEST ORGY PACKAGE and GIRLS GONE WILD : ALL THE SLUTS! EVERY SLUT IS HERE
who am I to say no to that?
I didn't give you permission to post this!
I mean, that's total coverage
all sluts, everywhere
It's a corrupted ISO for something that was hosted on my university's public server at the time. Was it a game? Was it a movie? Was it a religion? No one will ever know.
or is this all bullshit and that's not really a screenshot of your hard drive?
that's an old screenshot of an old drive, but yeah that's mine
I didn't rename it, the only reason I grabbed it in the first place is because of the name
again, how could you possibly not download a file called CRISIS IN INFINITE CUNTS
At least I know how heavy the thing is, so I can attempt to math out the rocketry that will go underneath.
Uuuugh.
Every last one.

If you do a google search, the first link is a thread in 2011 with @Grey Ghost asking about this. At last, you have your answer.
I should probably go do some study

Tomb Raider is a pretty fun game
The ending sequence was a bit weak though
